The Detroit Lions will attempt to maintain their outstanding offensive output against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Lions are 1-1 and just defeated the Chicago Bears 52-21 in Week 2. Detroit scored at least 10 points in each quarter, and quarterback Jared Goff completed five touchdown passes. They accumulated nearly 500 yards of offense and were 6-for-7 in the red zone. Time of possession was very even, as the defense forced two turnovers. The Lions' red zone defense went 0-for-2 and should have done better on third-down stops. Aside from that, the offense performed admirably, averaging 8.8 yards per play.

The Ravens are 1-1 and just defeated the Cleveland Browns 41-17 in Week 2. Baltimore scored in each quarter, and their performance improved in the second half. Quarterback Lamar Jackson fired four touchdown passes, and they were 3-for-4 in the red zone. Baltimore lost in total yards 323-242, yet managed to score 40 or more points for the second week in a row. Third down conversions could be improved on both sides of the ball and the defense committed two turnovers.

Lions vs Ravens Predictions and Picks

Detroit currently ranks fifth in passing yards, 15th in rushing yards, third in total points scored, and 21st in scoring defense. Goff went off in Week 2, completing 80% of his throws. He will need all of that efficiency to keep up with the Ravens' offensive output. The Lions have playmakers in their receiving core, and Amon-Ra St. Brown will want to test Baltimore's secondary. The Detroit defense will try to restrict Jackson's huge running plays.

Baltimore is tied for 23rd in passing yards, fifth in rushing yards, first in points scored, and tied for 25th in points allowed. Jackson leads the league in passing touchdowns, and opponents have struggled to stop him. They have a strong core of receivers, and running back Derrick Henry is a major threat in the running game. So far, this team's weakness has been pass protection, and its second-half defense can be fragile. The run defense will attempt to contain David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.

Best Bet: Over

Both clubs rank in the top five in scoring and in the bottom third in points allowed. Last week, both quarterbacks found the red zone easily, and the offenses are playing with confidence. This game will come down to who gets the ball last and who gives it over at the worst possible time.
